I would either go with the 10x42 Swaro EL's or the Leica Geovid 10x42 with the rangefinder built in.  I've looked through both while in the store "window shopping".  To be honest when I have the money to buy them, I am not sure which of those two I would get.

After making it through 3x you shouldn't need to ask to buy anything ever.  :dunno:

congrats and thanks for a job well done. I work with some guys who were in that place and have been told some crazy stories. I wouldn't want to live it for nothing. Thanks again. If I had the money  I would buy you the glasses.

Ok...............I mention them.  Have the 10x43 ED2's....son has same.  Definitely consider these at 1/4 the price of the Swaro's and Leica's mentioned here.  Are the Zen's better than.........no...............are they close.....hell yes.  I would rather buy an new rifle and scope with the difference. :twocents:

8x42 ELs or 10x42 ELs.   8x are more versitile and offer better light gathering.  10x if you know that you're gonna do a lot of open ground hunting and long range glassing. 

Geovids in the same configuration are also a great option with having the range finder built in.  Overall optical quality maybe a smidge below Swaro although depending on your eyes you may like the Leica's more.
